We’ve all heard the phrase ‘it’s better to give than to receive’. However, is one really better than the other?
We’ve all heard the phrase ‘it’s better to give than to receive’. However, is one really better than the other?
If it’s only better to give than receive, what would happen in nature? To us? It must be reciprocal, and sometimes we forget about that. Gratitude is a big piece in this. By choosing to receive, it's about recognizing the other person’s loving attempt, and to really see them as this loving being who’s wanting to give of themselves to me. It's huge!
The concept of paying it forward is amazing here if it’s done with the right energy. Be willing and graciously receive. Then in an opportunity down the road, joyfully reciprocate. There’s no score card. It’s just a gift and that’s all there is to it.
“It’s all about the choice to give, the choice to receive, the choice to be incredibly grateful.”
None of this is rocket science - I think the majority of us kind of know what’s important. However, it's about creating that awareness and being conscious of creating what you want rather than just allowing your life to just come around by default. Just remembering that is key – to know that I have choice, there’s the power.
